9/11The people, yes
Bookreader Item Preview
5 preliminary leaves, 3-286 pages ; 22 cm
An epic prose-poem, "The people, yes", is in many ways the culmination of Sandburg's work as a poet. He crafted it over an eight-year period, fusing the American verancular with the details of history and contemporary events. Sandburg's immersion in the Lincoln era had given him an informed sense of history, and he saw striking parallels between Lincoln's time and the Depression years. Believing that economic inequity lay at the root of all social injustice, from labor conflict to racial and civil strife, he responded to the economic and social upheavals of the 1930s with The People, Yes, his testament to the seekers and the strugglers, the people who were the counterparts of his own immigrant parents
